Most people searching for a mobile app development company in Rajshahi have already paid one freelancer, got a few screens, and then watched the chat go quiet right at the part that actually matters — payments, login, and getting the thing published.
I am RH Fardin — a one-person studio that designs, builds and ships mobile apps for Rajshahi businesses. Silk and clothing showrooms around Shaheb Bazar that want their own ordering app. Mango and agro traders who need buyers to place and track orders from a phone in the few weeks that matter. Coaching centres, hostels and student-service outfits near the university and RUET that want an app for admissions, batches or fees. I do the discovery, the UI in Figma, the code, the bKash and Nagad integration, and the Play Store and App Store submission — myself. Pricing starts at 50,000 BDT, 50% advance and 50% on launch, with the full design approved in writing before a single screen is coded.
Senior solo operator, ~5 years building for the BD market. Design approved before code. Android and iOS from one codebase where it fits. Direct on WhatsApp — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Almost everyone who messages me about mobile app development in Rajshahi is on their second or third attempt. The first round was usually a student or part-timer found through a university Facebook group who quoted 20,000 taka, sent a few clean-looking screens, took the advance, and then went quiet around the genuinely hard part — payments, user login, push notifications, and getting the app through the Play Store review.
What is left on the phone is an APK that crashes on a cheap Redmi, no source code, no Apple account, and no idea where the back-end even lives. That is not a price problem, it is a finishing problem — and it is the single most common reason a Rajshahi business comes looking for an actual mobile app development company rajshahi owners can hand the entire job to and trust it will ship.
Here is what makes the brief specific to this city, because Rajshahi is two markets sharing one map. On one side is trade — silk and clothing showrooms around Shaheb Bazar and New Market, and the mango and agro exporters whose whole year compresses into a few intense weeks. On the other is the education machine: Rajshahi University, RUET, the medical college, and the dense ring of coaching centres, hostels and student services around them.
Both sides have the same customer underneath — a student, a parent, an out-of-district buyer on a mid-range Android phone, on GP or Banglalink data that thins out past Talaimari and toward the bypass. An app that only behaves on a flagship handset and office wifi has not solved anything here.
For a mango trader the real fight is whether an order and bKash payment go through cleanly during the rush; for a coaching centre it is whether a parent can pay a fee and a student can see a routine on a slow phone without the app freezing. Building for the actual device and the actual network is the whole job.
When you hire me, there is no project manager forwarding your messages and no junior you never meet writing the code that handles your customers' money. I am the discovery call, the screen-by-screen flow, the Figma prototype you tap through before anything is built, the front-end and the back-end, the payment integration, and the person who sits with your Play Store and App Store submission until it is live and not rejected.
One senior operator, roughly five years building for the Bangladesh market, one WhatsApp thread for the whole project. That single line of accountability is exactly why a solo studio finishes apps that get abandoned at 80% by agencies and freelancers — there is no one to hand the painful last 20% to, so it actually gets done. You can see how I work at rhfardin.com before you commit a taka.
I will also be straight with you about money, because app pricing is where most Rajshahi owners get a shock. My floor is 50,000 BDT, but be clear what that buys: a focused, single-purpose app — a clean catalogue or menu, an order or enquiry flow, a polished build for one platform — not a full marketplace for the price of a phone. The 90,000 BDT tier is a real app with user accounts, bKash or Nagad payments, push notifications and an admin panel to run it.
1,50,000 BDT covers a more complete product with order or batch management, user roles, and both Android and iOS from one codebase. Anything genuinely custom — live order tracking, multiple user types, deep logistics or a real student-management system — starts from 3,00,000 BDT, because that is honest work, not a number set low to win you and abandon you later. Always 50% advance and 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer — and the full design is approved before code begins.
Six things that separate an app that ships and survives from an APK that dies in the Play Store queue — and they are how I work from the 50,000 BDT tier, not premium extras bolted onto a bigger plan.
The person you brief on call one designs the screens, writes the code, wires up the payments and ships the app. No salesman-to-student handoff that loses how your business actually runs between the pitch and the build.
Mobile payment integrated and tested on a real cheap Android, not demoed once and forgotten. A parent pays a coaching fee or a buyer pays for mango the way every Rajshahi customer already pays, with the failure cases handled.
I take the app through Google Play and App Store submission myself — listing, icons, privacy policy, the review back-and-forth. The 20% that kills most freelancer projects in this city is the part I own all the way to live.
Tested on mid-range Redmi, Realme and older Samsung handsets on real GP and Banglalink data out past Talaimari — not just my device on office wifi. Small install size and a UI that stays smooth on a slow student phone.
Mango, silk and admission cycles run on tight windows. I scope and time the build so the app is live, tested and on the store before your weeks hit — not finished halfway through them when the buyers have already moved on.
Source code, back-end and store accounts handed over in your name on launch, in one document. No vendor lock-in, no developer holding your APK hostage — the test most local freelancers here quietly fail.
A large share of the app ideas that land in my inbox from Rajshahi are aimed, one way or another, at the student. A coaching centre wants an app for batch routines, fee payment and a question bank. A hostel or mess wants bookings and rent. A campus food spot near RUET or the university wants its own ordering app instead of taking every order over Messenger. These look simple, but the audience makes them unforgiving in a specific way: students are the most ruthless users you can design for.
They are on the cheapest handsets and the tightest data, they will uninstall a 60MB app that takes ten seconds to open without a second thought, and word travels across a hostel floor faster than any marketing — one batch deciding the app is laggy and useless is the whole funnel gone. So for this market I build small and fast on purpose: a tiny install, screens that load on weak data, a fee payment in bKash or Nagad that does not break when the network blinks between classes.
The flashy version that only impresses on my screen is exactly the version that dies in a student's hands.
The other half — silk, clothing and mango — has the opposite shape but the same lesson: do not try to build the full vision in version one. A mango exporter does not need a rider network and a wallet on day one; it needs a buyer-facing app where an out-of-district customer can see today's stock, place an order, and pay an advance by bKash during the few weeks the fruit is actually moving, shipped before the season opens rather than after it closes.
A silk showroom does not need a marketplace; it needs a clean catalogue and order app a buyer trusts enough to send money to. Start with the version that solves the one expensive problem, get it live and used by real Rajshahi customers on their real phones, then spend the next budget on what the usage proves you actually need.
Send me your idea and one line on who it is for — a student, a mango buyer, a showroom customer — and within a day I will tell you honestly which tier fits, what version one should be, and what 50,000, 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT actually buys you.

The questions Rajshahi owners actually open with on WhatsApp — starting with the one everyone asks first.
The floor is 50,000 BDT for a focused, single-purpose app on one platform — think a clean catalogue, menu or routine with an order or enquiry flow. 90,000 BDT gets a real app with user accounts, bKash or Nagad payment integration, push notifications and an admin panel to run it. 1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller product with order or batch management, user roles, and both Android and iOS from one codebase.
Anything with live order tracking, multiple user types, or a real student-management or logistics system starts from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% advance and 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. If someone quotes you 20,000 taka for an app that takes payments, that is the price of an app that never finishes — ask who ships it and who holds the source code.
Judge the work, not the headcount. In a market this size, a "company" is often a Facebook page that forwards your build to a freelancer in another city, or a small shop where the senior person who pitched you hands the code to a junior with under two years of experience — and the part-timers from the university Facebook groups vanish at the hard part entirely. With me, the senior person you brief is the same person who designs, codes, integrates payments and ships every screen.
The honest trade-off: I take a few app projects at a time and I do not run a 24-hour helpdesk. I finish each app properly — payments, store approval, handover — instead of leaving it at 80%, which is exactly why a solo operator can be the safer choice here. Check rhfardin.com before deciding.
Yes — for the Rajshahi market that is not optional, it is the whole point. From the 90,000 BDT tier I integrate bKash and Nagad payment so your customer checks out the way they already pay for everything else, and I test it on a real mid-range Android, not just a one-time demo. I handle the failure cases too — a dropped connection mid-payment, a timeout, a cancelled transaction — because on the thinner GP and Banglalink data past Talaimari those happen, and an app that loses a mango order or a coaching fee when the network blinks loses the customer.
Yes — this is one of the most common briefs I get in Rajshahi, given how much of the city runs on the university and the coaching ring around it. A typical build has student login, batch routines and notices, a fee payment in bKash or Nagad, and an admin panel for you to manage batches and see who has paid — that sits around the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tier depending on scope.
The thing I push hardest on is speed and install size, because students are on cheap phones and tight data and will drop a heavy, laggy app instantly. A full student-management system with multiple roles, attendance and deeper reporting is custom work from 3,00,000 BDT, and I will tell you honestly which version you actually need first.
Yes, and getting it published is part of the job, not an extra you chase later. I prepare the store listing, icons, screenshots and the privacy policy, submit to Google Play and the Apple App Store, and handle the review back-and-forth until the app is actually live and not rejected. The accounts are set up in your name and handed to you, so you own the listing. This last 20% is precisely where most Rajshahi freelancer projects die — the screens get built, then the app never makes it onto the store — so it is the part I own all the way to the end.
Yes, and for Rajshahi this matters more than most developers plan for. If your real money lands in a few intense weeks — the mango season, the silk buying cycle, admission rush near the university — tell me at the start and we work backward from it. I scope the version one that can realistically be built, tested on real phones, and approved on the store before your window opens, instead of an ambitious app that ships halfway through the rush when the buyers have already moved. Because one person handles design, development and the store submission, there is no team scheduling to slow the launch down, so hitting a tight seasonal deadline is realistic rather than a gamble.
